Hotspots: navigation, amenities, and information
The three types of clickable points you can place on a panorama, and what each one is for.
A hotspot is a clickable point you place directly on the panoramic image, in the Studio. It's what turns a simple 360° photo into an interactive tour. There are three types of hotspots, each with a different role.
Navigation hotspot
Lets you move from one scene to another — for example, a hotspot placed on the living room door that leads to the kitchen. This is what gives visitors the feeling of actually moving through the property rather than picking a room from a menu.
“Amenity” hotspot
Highlights a specific, clickable amenity in the room — a kitchen island, a fireplace, a walk-in closet, a recent boiler. Unlike a general information hotspot, an amenity hotspot opens a detailed card dedicated to that item (name, description, possibly a technical detail like the installation year). It's the tool to use to highlight a specific selling point without overloading your commentary during the live tour: the client can click it themselves, including after the appointment, in the Replay.
General information hotspot
Displays information that doesn't relate to a specific item but to the room or area as a whole — exposure, room size, a note on recent work done. Simpler than an amenity hotspot, with no dedicated detail card.
You can place as many hotspots as needed on the same scene, and reposition them at any time by dragging them on the panorama in the Studio. A property still in draft can have scenes with no hotspots at all — useful if you want to validate all the shots first before moving on to the details.
